Watercooler Ammo Reject Pile!

A few months ago, Jason and I started a new Monday-Thursday newsletter called Watercooler Ammo. Here's some of the stuff that was left on the cutting room floor.

The Same Mold Story

If you're sick of people stealing your lunch from the company fridge, these innovative Anti-Theft Lunch Bags should do the trick. The bags are stained with green splotches to look like the food inside is moldy. If you want to get your hands on some bags, you'll have to move fast. At $8 for 25 bags, who knew fake mold was such a growth industry?

All the President's Ratings

The Wall Street Journal's taken all of the Gallup Approval Rating polls and plotted them in one fun graph. If you're anything like me, you'll be racking your brain trying to figure out the historical events that correlate with each up and down.

The Best Nutmeg I've Ever Seen

I know, I know. Most of you are sick of soccer, but I couldn't help but throw this in here. I couldn't tell what was happening until the video slowed it down, but this move by the Spanish player Mata is incredible. Of course, my favorite part of the video is the post-nutmeg celebration. This is just a pre-game, warm-up exercise, and the team's jumping up and down like they just scored a goal. Also great is the way one player consoles the guy who just got megged.

Wrapper's Delight

If you're wondering what gourmet food to pair with your Pizza Beer this holiday weekend, I think Turtle Burgers (cheese + burger + hot dogs all wrapped in bacon) make a lot of sense.

Also on Mental Floss:

DID YOU KNOW? Marlon Brando hated memorizing lines so much that he posted cue cards everywhere to help him get through scenes.
He even asked for lines to be written on an actress's posterior. (That request was denied.)
